A new review of This Way Of Life, written and produced by WIFT member Sumner Burstyn, has been featured in Variety:
"A collision of realities -- earthly nature vs. human nature -- lies at the very big heart of "This Way of Life," catapulting this Kiwi-made story of a Maori family beyond mere portraiture and into a realm of metaphysics, melancholia and cosmic doubt: At the ends of the Earth, in a virtual Eden, is it possible for a family to live without petty grudges, anger, violence and authoritarian rule? There are no easy answers in this gloriously photographed film, but the questions it poses -- and its attractive, unconventional subjects -- should help it find a life beyond the festival circuit."
